It's just my
opinion, of course, but I think we'd all have far fewer regrets in life if we
took to heart the advice in this song.
I know for a fact that I myself have a long litany of things I wish I had said
or done before it was everlastingly too late.

November 06, 1941 -
Soviet leader
Joseph Stalin addressed the Soviet Union for only the second time during his
three-decade rule. He stated that even though 350,000 troops were killed in
German
attacks so far, the Germans had lost 4.5 million soldiers and that Soviet
victory was near.

November 06, 2001 - In London, the "Lest We Forget" exhibit opened at
the National Memorial Arboretum. Fred Seiker was the creator of the 24
watercolors. Seiker was a prisoner of war that had been forced to build the
Burma Railroad, the "railway of death," for the Japanese during World War
II.

THIS DAY IN 1968:

Tuesday, November 06, 1968 - Cartoonist
Caesar Meadows was born in the USA.

WHY: Be there for a rare opportunity to ask Mayor Price questions!
------- We encourage you to attend this meeting and ask questions about
the City Farm. Please be civil so that our behavior doesn’t become the
issue. Tell Mayor Price how important it is that we keep all of the City
Farm as a park for everyone to enjoy and not sell any of it to
developers.

Please attend. Our work is not over.

(1) We need to ask Mayor Price (and the rest of the City Council) for a
Citizen Task Force to decide what will be in our park.

(2) We need to ask Mayor Price (and the rest of the City Council) to let
us citizens on the property as soon as possible.

10/31/18 - "Statistics (#6 in a series of 18)":

These
numbers are based on a single day. The one that may not be clear is the 5000 -
an estimate of how many steps the average person takes in a day. I don't know if
anyone else will find these of interest, or as much as I do, but one thing that
stood out to me is the imbalance in the numbers. Our dependence on technology is
clear. It is certainly a blessing in many ways; just hope it does not make life
more isolating.

WOW!
Thank you, Shari!

BONUS NOVEMBER
DECORATING IDEA:

http://www.digsdigs.com/35-awesome-thanksgiving-centerpieces/ - "Thanksgiving
is coming soon and you still don’t have any ideas how to
decorate your table? Each holiday table needs a beautiful
centerpiece and here the best ideas. First of all, Thanksgiving is a
fall holiday so we need as much harvest used in compositions as we can.
Take grapes, berries, pears, any vegetables, especially pumpkins because
they are native vegetables for America. Don’t forget of flowers, cones,
even cane, dry ears and plants. You may create a real cornucopia
yourself taking a horn and any
harvest you like. If you don’t like horns then take a basket and
fill it with fruit and flowers, and use some candles – they always bring
a feeling of coziness. The colors and the items chosen depend on the
style of your table. Make your centerpiece that would be personalized
and exclusive!"

Kara's
Thanksgiving Turkey
